Google Street View in USF and IOA Available! - The DIS Discussion Forums

Kefrif · 10-11-2009, 12:14 PM

Hi All,

Don't know whether anyone has seen this already, but if you go onto Google Maps and find USF and IOA, you can now to a limited extent get street level views of most of the parks!

I've not got link posting privileges so I can't point you there myself. However, go to google maps, search for Universal Florida, and drag and drop the yellow man icon from the left of the screen to any of the blue highlit street areas, and you should get a street view.

Awesome!

It's really cool isn't it!? You can go through most of the parks and get such a great feel for it.

Planogirl · 10-12-2009, 12:02 AM

That is very cool! I just keep wishing that I could enter the buildings.

that's fun, thanks for posting

Did you guys notice how Universal has most of their characters out on the edge of the streets waving? Kinda neat looking. Check for example on Hollywood Blvd and near Jimmy Neutron and Shrek. I especially love Bullwinkle before the vehicle gets to him:

I tried to use this at Disneyland and WDW but you can't get into the parks. Bummer.

rpbert1 · 10-17-2009, 05:26 PM

We where at Toon lagoon when they took the pics, they had everybody waving, but a lot of the pics must have been took before the park opened as some have no people in them and some do, We are there at Toon Lagoon DD has the yellow crocs on if anyones looking.

schumigirl · 10-18-2009, 06:04 AM

That`s fabulous, haven`t seen this before. Thanks

Thanks

I looked too and couldn't find anyone in yellow crocs. It is interesting that they have now blurred all the faces. When I looked last week, the faces were still unblurred.

rpbert1 · 10-18-2009, 05:45 PM

The photo at the back of the Popeye statue, then pan right , we are infront of Beetle bailie beside 2 people with red vests on, well you know us anyway Barb. everyone feeling better now.

bubba's mom · 10-18-2009, 06:30 PM

Thanks....we found you!!

Saw the peeps with the red vests next to you...and the yellow crocs. It was tricky because some of the shots were early without people in them.

I know a famous family on Google now

I wish we'd been heading into the Studios when we saw the car...ah well....

rpbert1 · 10-19-2009, 02:47 PM

Yeah, seems nearly everyother photo has no people in it. never been called famous

I wish, Barb. Hopefully see you next year again, and a day at the the park this time.
